I have some friends who make a meatloaf man to eat for Halloween dinner every year. Course, theirs isn't as detailed or as disturbing because it's a man, not a baby. All they do is stick a knife in it and have the sauce oozing out. It's actually quite cool. That baby...is creepy!

I think that is the grossest thing I have ever seen. - BTW - I actually attended a baby shower once with a tiny baby on the cake made of fondant (made by the dad's mother) and the mom to be was freaked out by the thought of eating a baby. Do people even consider that when they order these cakes?

No, I take it back. The worst part is that when meat cooks, it shrinks, so when this monstrosity is done it's going to look even more monstrous. Not to mention the uneven baking--by the time the torso is done, the legs and feet will be burned.

No, I take it back yet again. The very worst part comes when it's time to serve that thing. The tastiest part would be the bit wrapped in bacon. I'm just imagining someone saying "Can I have a slice of the diaper, please?"

I'm fascinated by the detail -- they must have used a creepy baby mold, which makes me wonder all the more. And the eyes -- what are they made from, do you think? (Someone said pearl onions possibly, but I dunno.) And yeah -- what does it look like cooked? All greasy and crispy edges and sort of shrunk up and ... ew!

I think everyone is overlooking the absolutely stellar meat sculpting skills? No? That's all I've got. I always try to be a glass is half full kind of gal though...and strangely enough...I kinda do want to see the cooked version of it.

And has anyone tried the sound verification before? It's kind of frightening...

@The Suburb Experiement: I think a better question is "What occassion *doesn't* call for a zombie meatloaf baby with a bacon diaper?!" That this is soooo awesome... and sooo gross.. I can't take my eyes off of it.

After reading through all the comments, I am apparently the only one who thinks this is awesome! lol I am a Halloween junkie and this is the ultimate in creepy food. I feel so boring simply turning my kids' mashed potatoes green.

Oh holy bleepedy bleep! What the...? What's worse? The blank, soulless, staring eyes? The bacon diaper (don't get me started on the wrongness...it so does NOT make that better)? The (((gulp))) *meat* baby?

Re: the link to the other baby meatloaf--that one was actually kind of cute, and I thought the head on the lettuce was really funny. But it wasn't realistic at all. The one here. . .I may have nightmares!

wv casmo. . .Make a baby meatloaf realistic, casmo realistic it is, the less you'll eat and the skinnier you'll be

I think if you served that to a family with children in it you could be arrested for child endangerment if not worse.I know many children are ghoulish, but let's not encourage THIS sort of thing.Good grief! Bacon underwear!

WV: bleret. As a vegetarian, I feel I want to bleret at this horrific image. It's like a baby was burned alive, then put into a bacon nappy and is about to be put into the oven... This is *SICK*!!! I think the baker has some serious issues...

Just to add a note to the "baking this baby" comments: When properly cooked, that bacon will shrink a lot, squeezing that 'baby's' middle until it has a wasp's waist. You could add sliced olived for the pupils of the eyes & get an alien monster to put out for dinner.

Let me start by saying that I understand if you don't publish this comment. That said, this photo is very disturbing, but as a Child Welfare worker, I have to say I have seen worse... Let's just leave it at that.

I call heads! I love meatloaf in any shape and I would have no problem lopping off a tiny little leg and destroying it. I don't really understand what the big deal is, after all it's not a real baby. I think it's an incredible idea for a Halloween dinner party and I plan on using it for mine next year.

I looked at it and my lip curled. Though I think the bacon diaper is funny it was they eyes and little hands that grossed me out...until someone said what would that look like cooked- THAT'S the gross thought!!

Oh Good Lord, what on Earth was THAT?!?!?! Geeeze, thanks, I think I will have nightmares! That is right up there with the "Birth" cake. I had the unfortunate pleasure of doing one a few years ago- absolutely horrifying!! But LOL, it is Halloween....

That is wrong on so many levels! The eyes! Those hands! And you have to cook it, in your oven! And when it's cooked, you have to put a knife in it! I wonder, would you feel like you're having a nice dinner or taking part on a biopsy? This is genuine nightmare material. (And I've never used that many exclamation marks in a comment before...)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
